“I am a licensed clinical psychologist and work primarily with children, adolescents, young adults, and families. I specialize in working with individuals who are struggling with low self-esteem, mood issues, trauma, chronic illness (particularly HIV/AIDS), anxiety, loss, behavior issues, and developmental issues (particularly Autism Spectrum). I feel that parental involvement is crucial to successful treatment, and work closely with parents to encourage the development of positive parenting techniques. One of my primary goals is to help each individual in the family identify and use their strengths to address those areas of their lives in which they are challenged.

“Making that first call to a therapist can feel daunting. But at times we all need some help. Maybe you're struggling with relationship issues. Perhaps you have a life dilemma to resolve. Or perhaps you're just feeing overwhelmed with stresses or emotions. Whatever it may be, I welcome your inquiry. Together we can find ways to support your desire for relief, satisfaction, and even joy in your life. I look forward to hearing from you.

“Everyone experiences feelings of anxiety, disappointment or sadness from time to time. You may be struggling with relationships, your career or perhaps you are coping with a loss or life transition. Overcoming life's challenges can be difficult. Although challenging, these difficulties are treatable. Making the decision to contact a therapist to get help is not easy, but an important first step to feeling better. Finding a highly trained, experienced "results-oriented" therapist who you feel comfortable working with is critical. For the past 20 years I have been providing psychotherapy here in the US and internationally.

“I have a passion for helping people of all ages improve their relationships, develop healthy coping skills and heal from relational injuries or trauma. In a safe and accepting environment we explore and understand the things that are not working well for you. There is always a reason for people's choices and behaviors, even those that cause significant problems. Once you understand the reason behind the behavior you can begin to make changes and adopt new healthier ways of living. I walk alongside and encourage you in this often difficult, but rewarding process.

“Are you unhappy in your marriage, struggling as a parent or having difficulty with your new blended family? While everyone faces challenges in life, sometimes it can be too much to handle on your own. The stress and pressures of life can be overwhelming and can affect even the strongest individuals and families. The first step is finding a therapist who can understand your situation and has the experience to guide you to effectively resolve these problems. I work with couples, families and individuals to help them deal directly with their problems using a solution-based approach.

“Making an important life decision? Dealing with a problem or obstacle? Experiencing a challenging transition? Pursuing a significant goal? We work on strength identification and use as well goal clarification and implementation. Research has shown that the use of positive psychology in life coaching can actually make people happier, optimize their functioning and increase life satisfaction. The practice of Positive Psychology focuses on what is right and strong with people.

“I specialize in the cognitive behavioral treatment of anxiety, stress, and depression in adults and teens. I also work with many patients on issues such as relationships, children, work and school. As a cognitive behavioral therapist, I help patients understand underlying patterns in their thinking and behavior and develop strategies to change these patterns. I also incorporate emotion-focused and mindfulness approaches, working with patients to process their feelings and reactions in a helpful and effective manner.

“Everyone has challenges and trying times; by working together we can obtain balance in your life and stability in your family. You deserve health and happiness, and it is my job to insure that you find both. I have decades of experience in the private and public sector. I understand the complex challenges in both corporate and home life. I am sensitive to your needs and can help with the most difficult cases. I am fortunate to have three different clinical licenses that give me a greater perspective on how to effectively treat my clients.

“At some point in our life we hit a bump in the road. It has been my experience that with the right tools and a supportive system, the client can do extremely well in therapy. My goal is not to have the client in therapy for years to come, but rather to enable them to get over the hurdle they face and live the most productive life that they can. Most of the work I do is with either individuals or families. My training is in Family Systems and I am an ongoing participant at the Family Institute of Westchester.

“The challenges of today's world wear heavily on couples and families. What we believed counted may now seem undependable, even impossible to understand. Intimacy and relationships are stressed and additional conflict may be too much to handle. This is exactly the time to consider professional help.
I am a Licensed Marriage and Family therapist, a Diplomate in Clinical Sex Therapy and have analytic training as well as EMDR. My expertise blends psychodynamic, cognitive,and relational perspectives. A very powerful combination.
I maintain a strong network of professional colleagues to provide the best integrative care ie/psychopharmacologists,OB/GYNs,internists,etc.

“The focus of my work is to help people to negotiate their relationships and find lasting satisfaction in their lives. I provide a safe, non-judgmental environment. I model respectful, cooperative communication and teach my clients to use this in their lives. I empower my clients to see their strengths and to work toward their goals without pressuring them to change. I use a variety of approaches depending upon the needs of the client. My practice focuses on treatment of individuals and couples. I work with people with mood and anxiety disorders. I also assist with life transitions including divorce.

“Are you feeling sad, depressed, or worried? Do you feel like you have no one to talk to, no one who understands you? Are you having relationship problems or don't feel like you fit in? You are not alone. Let me help you.

“Everyone goes through periods of time where they struggle with things. I offer support in a non-judgmental environment. I have worked with adolescence and families for the last 8 years. Anxiety, Depression, Eating Disorders and Self Harming behaviors are the areas that I concentrate on. My approach is to work as a team with my client and explore ways to change behaviors that are having a negative impact on their lives.

“Hello and Welcome! It takes a lot of courage and commitment to look for a therapist for you or your child, so first of all, it is wonderful you have gotten this far. The clients I see are resilient, they know they can feel better and they want things to change. Their desire to feel better combined with my expertise in cognitive behavioral therapy is often all they need. Psychology is not a mystery, it is science. I provide evidence-based treatments to address complex psychological issues, such as anxiety, depression, phobias, self-harm behaviors, parent behavioral training and ADHD.

“As a psychotherapist I help people strengthen their inner resources to deal with problems ranging from addiction and eating disorders, to anxiety and depression. I work collaboratively with patients, ending self-destructive beliefs and behaviors, developing their genuine self-love and acceptance, and recovering their true selves.
Both in my training and in my work, I have used a variety of different treatment methods, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), 12-Step recovery, and Emotionally Focused Therapy for couples counseling. Drawing on these diverse approaches, my goal is to meet each patient's individual therapeutic needs in a supportive manner.
